A NEW JERSEY newspaper reported Monday night that an announcement will be made "in the next day or two" of a home and home series between Washington State and Rutgers for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. The WSU home game would be played in Seattle as the Cougs' annual game in the Emerald City. CF.C has been told an agreement is in place but the contracts have yet to be signed.

The Star-Ledger said their source was "familiar with the situation" at Rutgers and requested anonymity because Rutgers wants to make an official announcement either Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Seattle game at CenturyLink Field would likely be the season opener in 2014, according to the newspaper. Washington State would then play at Rutgers in 2015.

Washington State's "Seattle Game" began as a season opening, out-of-conference matchup back in 2002. The past two years, however, have seen it become an all Pac-12 event, with Oregon State and Oregon as the Wazzu opponent.
